How to make dynamic xpath calls

Hi,

I’m using the following xpath expression to retrieve some node values from an XML.

* def sbsKey = get response /Envelope//resortID[text()='0450']/following-sibling::accomodationProducts[1]//*[local-name()='unit'][1]//sbsKey
* print "The season code is "+sbsKey

My question is - How do I make the the following section of the xpath dynamic

[//resortID[text()='0450']]

I was hoping something like this would solve the purpose, but it doesn’t -

* def fetchedResortID = get response /Envelope//resortID[1]
* print fetchedResortID

* def sbsKey = get response "/Envelope//resortID[text()='"+fetchedResortID+"']/following-sibling::accomodationProducts[1]//*[local-name()='unit'][1]//sbsKey"
* print "The season code is "+sbsKey

Thanks Peter. I did figure out this issue. I converted the response object to xml through type conversion and then applied the xpath expression.

Works fine now

actually this is a gap. where we have a way to do this for jsonPath so I’m treating this as a feature request. I think you can use this work-around for now (works only for string values, not XML chunks).

* def xpath = "/Envelope//resortID[text()='" + fetchedResortID + "']/following-sibling::accomodationProducts[1]//*[local-name()='unit'][1]//sbsKey
* def sbsKey = karate.get(xpath)
